Seperation of Serbia and Montenegro

What's going to happen with the seperation of Serbia and Montenegro? Is this domain still going to be used?—♦♦ SʘʘTHING^(Я) 18:19, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It would be reasonable to expect for each Serbia and Montenegro to be assigned their own top-level domains, which they will then switch to. .yu might be phased out in a decade or so, but like .su, it might continue to exist as more of a collector's item. --Joy [shallot] 21:16, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The CIA World Factbook seems to believe that .yu will 'remain in service' until the end of the year. I went to Google and plugged in site:.yu and found 13.1M results. I'm not sure how many of these are current, but that's a lot of sites to have to sort though (I guess to see if they are from Serbia, Montenegro, or thoughtout the former Yugoslavia) and un-register. I could see a freeze on new registrations by the end of the year. However I do think it will be a while before .yu is gone and .me and .rs takes over. - Thanks, Hoshie 11:07, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Has IANA (that is, ICANN) said that it intends to assign .rs? I imagine they'll be reluctant to do so, because they know they'll never get rid of .yu, so Serbia will effectively have two top-level domains (even if registrations for .yu are frozen). It was presumably for this reason that they didn't assign .cs to Serbia and Montenegro. There's no problem with .me, of course, as Montenegro is not the successor state. --Zundark 13:12, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

.cg.yu

This is mainly for Nikola Smolenski, but i wanted to make the debate public. .cg.yu, is a domain name registered by a montenegrin ISP (T-com branch). They give away free something.cg.yu subdomain to THEIR customers. In that way, cg.yu is not a "de facto" montenegring domain or anything... It is just a smart marketing move by T-com. If we want to write about possible political implications or what not, we are better to find some sources. The fact remains — some of their customers opt no to register a domain but use a subdomain instead. That's it. --★čabrilo★ 09:22, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List under "Phaseout"

Should this domain be listed under the 'phaseout' heading in the template at the bottom of the page? If so, could someone do that (since I won't be coming back to this page again)? (Template:CcTLD) DonkeyKong64 (Mathematician in training) 17:59, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That will have to wait until IANA (ICANN) finally assigns name servers to the new domains (.rs and .me). --Joy [shallot] 22:02, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect information

I beleive the following line is incorrect
The code YU was replaced by CS in July 2003 following the official change of FR Yugoslavia to Serbia and Montenegro in February 2003
YU was not replaced by CS as Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia are not nor were not ever the same country - if you look at the .CS domain definition you will see it is for Czechoslovakia and was split into CZ and SK
